Interesting facts about the pink apple chompa
It is interesting that in the tropics, even in the territory of one country, the harvest is carried out at different times. Whether this is due to the planting of bushes or the peculiarity of the soil composition, it has not yet been clarified.
Currently, it has been possible to obtain fruits of green and purple color, while retaining the taste characteristic of a pink apple.
The plant prefers saturated loam, but the yield depends more on the growing conditions. The bush needs space, sun and moderate humidity. It tolerates drafts and cold snaps up to + 10 ° C with ease.
In Jamaica, fruits are harvested all year round, but in the Bahamas and South Florida only at the end of summer - flowering is limited to May and June.
The local population of chompu does not eat, but drinks. The pulp is saturated with water and quenches thirst well. To normalize the water-salt balance on hot days, they eat chompa puree, sprinkled with salt.
The unripe fruit has a very original taste - it looks like a hybrid of green bell pepper and semerynko.
Fresh chompu fruit is stored on the refrigerator shelf for no more than a day. When frozen quickly, it retains its beneficial properties for up to 6 months. To defrost, you need to place the fruit under running cold water.
It is interesting that the Europeans, living in tropical countries where chompu grows, manage to cook jams and preserves from it, add fruit to compotes. But the natives consider such culinary processing wasteful. They prefer to flavor berry or fruit desserts with essential oil, which is extracted from the leaves of the Malabar plum, and they eat the fruits fresh.
In terms of the amount of sugars, one ripe chompu corresponds to a standard milk chocolate bar. But such a replacement is much more useful - there are no trans fats in the fruit and there is useful fiber, albeit very little.
Cosmetology uses the juice of the fruit and leaves of the plant as an ingredient in a cream for sensitive skin.
If the fruit did not have time to eat, it can be dried in the sun and made a rattle. The seeds will make a ringing sound, and if such a toy is chewed a little, there will be no harm.
